Austin Elopement & Micro-Wedding Photography
Small Wedding. Big Feelings. All the Good Stuff.
Whether you're saying "I do" at the courthouse with just the two of you, bringing along your closest family and friends, or hopping on a plane for an adventure somewhere beautiful, your wedding doesn't have to be big to deserve incredible photos.
I offer elopement and micro-wedding photography for couples who want the same thoughtful, personalized experience as a traditional wedding, just on a smaller scale.
Elopements vs. Micro Weddings
Not sure which one fits your day? Here's how I break it down.
Elopements
Elopements are intentionally small and simple, usually just the two of you or a handful of your closest people. Coverage is typically two hours or less and is perfect for courthouse ceremonies, intimate vow exchanges, and celebrations where you don't need a traditional wedding-day timeline.
My two-hour elopement collections are designed specifically for this.
Micro Weddings
A micro wedding is still a wedding, just with a smaller guest list!
I consider micro weddings celebrations with approximately 10-40 guests that need more than two hours of photography coverage. Your day might include getting ready, a first look or private vows, the ceremony, family photos, newlywed portraits, and part of your reception.
For these celebrations, my six-hour Essential Collection is usually the perfect fit.

Micro-Wedding Photography
Micro-Wedding Photography in Austin, TX
A smaller guest list doesn't necessarily mean you only need two hours.
For micro-weddings with approximately 10-40 guests, I recommend starting with six hours of photography. That gives us enough time to tell more of the story without squeezing your wedding into an unrealistic timeline.
Six hours can typically cover:
Getting Ready → First Look or Private Vows → Ceremony → Family Photos → Newlywed Portraits → Limited Reception Coverage
“The Destination Elopement”
Travel Elopement Photography
Six hours. Just the two of you. Anywhere in the U.S.
If your dream wedding looks more like exchanging vows in the mountains, along the coast, in the desert, or somewhere completely different, The Destination Elopement was created for you.
Starting at $3,850, this six-hour collection gives us enough time to document the experience, not just the ceremony. And because my photographer travel is already included, you don't have to calculate flights, hotels, or rental cars on top of your photography collection.
Six hours can typically cover:
Getting Ready → First Look or Private Vows → Adventure Portraits → Ceremony → Newlywed Portraits → Champagne, Picnic, or Sunset Photos

I consider an elopement an intimate celebration with just the two of you or a small handful of family and friends, typically needing two hours or less of photography coverage.
A micro wedding is still a traditional wedding day, just with a smaller guest list, usually around 10–40 guests. Micro weddings often include getting ready, a first look or private vows, the ceremony, family photos, newlywed portraits, and part of the reception, so I recommend starting with six hours of coverage.

If it's truly just the two of you, the Just Us Collection is perfect. If you're inviting family or friends and would like group photos with them, choose the Family Included Collection. Both include two hours of photography, but Family Included allows additional time and images for documenting the people celebrating with you.
-
For most courthouse weddings and simple elopements, yes! Two hours typically gives us enough time for pre-ceremony portraits, your ceremony, just-married photos, and portraits at the courthouse or a nearby second location.
If you're planning multiple locations, getting-ready photos, a meal or reception, or other activities, you may want additional coverage or one of my micro-wedding collections instead.
-
Absolutely. If your plans grow beyond what we can comfortably fit into two hours, additional coverage can be added. For celebrations that need several additional hours, my Essential 6-Hour Collection may be a better fit and gives us much more room to tell the full story of your day.
-
Yes! My Destination Elopement Collection is designed for couples who want to say "I do" somewhere beyond Austin. It includes six hours of photography coverage and photographer travel within the U.S., so whether you're dreaming about mountains, coastline, desert, or somewhere completely different, we can create an elopement experience around your destination.
-
Once we've confirmed your date, coverage, and package, a signed photography agreement and 50% non-refundable retainer officially reserve your date and photography timeframe. The remaining balance is due before your wedding. You'll also receive teaser images within 48 hours of your wedding, with your full gallery delivered afterward.
